I've seen multiple home inspections flag this as something to replace immediately.
I don't believe you.

I believe it. Home inspectors usually aren't worth a bucket of warm spit and are on the hunt to fill out a report with the least amount of work and knowledge possible. cracked outlet covers and suspect p-traps are their bread and butter.

I wouldn't install one of the flex drain lines in my own home because they look leak and stoppage prone. But they probably will work for several years and could save a homeowner a $100 in a plumber. Just as long as you're vigilant about checking for leaks then I don't care how the dirty water ends up in the sewer.

Battery powered water alarms are readily available and cheap. I recommend them under any sink. The difference in one day of dripping vs 2 weeks of dripping can be huge.
